Killer Opening Tracks

Jethro Tull
Stand up
A new day yesterday.
Amazing track

Tell me Led Zep could not learn a thing or two from that tune..
 
Rush's 2112

This was my intro to Rush, and Rush's statement to the "critics". F___ You! We're doing it our way, thank you very much.

S.J.
 
The opening bass cords of Wlid Cherry "Play That Funky Music".
Nancy Wilson of Heart playing acoustic guitar on the opening of "Crazy On You". Also Heart's "Sylvan Song" where the mandolin rocks out on that tune!
 
Not energetic or anything, just cool to me personally.Just one of those things that's always been stuck in the back of mind somewhere.



I guess I didn't read the title well enough.It says opening tracks.I'm guessing it means the first song on an album.Sorry guys.Anyway it should pass for just being a cool song.
